Description of the Related Art A stackable rack unit having four corners of a load support base supported by columns can be used as a pallet for transporting a load, but is connected laterally. Thereby, it can also be used as a rack installed on the floor. In this case, the racks are not directly connected to each other in the horizontal direction, but are connected using the two front and rear connection beams. Can also be used as a cargo support space. At this time, the connecting beam constitutes a load supporting portion between the racks. However, if the upper surface level of the connecting beam is the same level as the upper surface of the load supporting portion of the rack alone, the load of the load by a forklift or the like can be obtained. It is convenient for taking in and out work.

In addition, it is desirable that the columns of the upper and lower racks that are stacked are connected to each other. Therefore, when connecting the stacked racks with connecting beams, the connecting beams that connect the racks of each stage at the level of the load support base and the columns of the upper and lower racks are connected. However, if both of them are constituted by dedicated members, the types of parts increase, the cost increases, and the assembly becomes complicated.

易になる。As described above, the connecting rack of the present invention can be implemented as described above. According to the connecting rack of the present invention, the racks are separated from each other by the height of the load support base located at the upper end thereof. By simply connecting the connecting beams upside down, the stacked racks can also be used as the connecting beams that are connected at the height of the load support base located between them. In addition, regardless of whether the upper ends of the racks are connected to each other or the stacked racks are connected at an intermediate height, the upper surface of the connection beam (the surface that becomes upper in use) is placed on the lateral side. Can be at the same level as the upper surface of the load support base of the rack unit located at the same position, so that when using the space above the connecting beam as the load support space, it is possible to easily load and unload the load with a forklift etc. . Further, when the racks stacked as described above are connected to each other at an intermediate height, the connecting means including the connecting members at both ends of the connecting beam includes a support upper end of the lower rack alone and a support lower end of the upper rack alone. Since it also serves as a connecting means for connecting the parts to each other, there are few types of components necessary for configuring the connecting rack, and the components can be implemented inexpensively and the assembling work is also facilitated.

間を荷支持空間として安全に活用することができる。According to the second aspect of the present invention, the load support base can be stably supported by the two front and rear connection beams and the intermediate connection member bridged therebetween. Therefore, the space between the racks connected by the connection beam can be safely used as a load support space.

Abutting the front and rear outer surfaces and the left and right outer surfaces of these columns over the upper end of the lower rack unit and the lower end of the upper rack unit. The posture can be regulated with high precision. Moreover, when stacking single racks,
With the positioning fitting member at the upper end or the lower end of the column having the overhanging side wall portion, the lower rack unit and the upper rack unit move relative to each other in the horizontal direction, thereby reliably preventing the stacked state from being unexpectedly collapsed. be able to.

強度も増大し、安全性が向上する。In addition, according to the structure of the fifth aspect, one type of U-shaped pin is used in both the case where the connecting beam is used in the vertical direction and the case where the connecting beam is used in the vertical direction. Since the connecting members at both ends can be connected to the rack single column, the connecting rack can be easily assembled as compared with the case where a plurality of pins must be used properly. Moreover, when a downward load is applied to the connection beam by pushing down the connection beam or in use, the connection members at both ends of the connection beam are attached to both the front-rear outer surface and the left-right outer surface of the rack single column by the load. The connection rack which can be fixed by pressing can be easily assembled without rattling, and the strength of the entire connection rack can be increased to improve safety.
